After the nightmare of police officers' details being released online in Ulster, two English police forces have quietly confessed that some of their data on victims, witnesses and suspects has been mishandled, too. A very good day to bury bad news?
“Who is responsible for this flop?” demands the Guardian, branding Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb's road trip, Billericay to Barry a “ mind-bendingly banal failure.” But I doubt if there's any individual to blame.

Isn't spying supposed to be glamorous? According to reports, one of three Bulgarians accused of spying “has recently been been living at a seaside guest house in Great Yarmouth.” We've been expecting you in the penny arcade, Mr Bond . . .
